Re: [PLUG] resolv.conf question
|
The file you want is /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
domain.com is the domain you want it to be, and opendns is the
nameserver you want to use. You can use one or both directives.
supersede domain-name "domain.com"; # domain for searching
prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220; # ips for
nameservers
Don't know how to set your hostname, and friends are here.
Cheers, and hope to see you at my next LAN,
Joe Terranova
